Gigapans

Which kind of camera makes a better panorama: a full-frame DSLR or a point-and-shoot? This is a test that pits my Canon G10 (with a 1.54X tele attachment) against my Nikon D3 with 80-210mm Nikkor zoom. Here you see the Nikon D3 with a homemade mount to keep the angles the same.

Kites of all shapes, sizes, colors and themes fly over frozen Lake Harriet. Other fun family activities at the festival include ice fishing, horse-drawn wagon rides, snowshoeing, a kid’s medallion hunt and a marshmallow roast.

Before I packed the holiday decorations away, I thought I'd better photograph them. I've done some tests and a 5-second camera exposure requires an amazing 13-second GigaPan delay while the camera does dark-field subtraction and writes the image to the card. This panorama took 59 minutes, during which time night bright...
